One day when you sit in the cafe at Starbucks waiting for that guy who’s never on time you could be spending the wasted minutes sharing files stored on your cell phone. In Kuwait people already use Bluetooth technology to send each other files anonymously, Gizmodo reports.
This trend seems determined to spread around the globe. Textually reports that the Nokia Research Center in Budapest, Hungary, have adapted the peer-to-peer (P2P) schemes to share files and tested them on their 6600 model cellphones.
The craze started by people sending porn to each other but now it has evolved. Now it’s people making small movies, mostly funny, and sending them to each other! PSFK can imagine people silenty swapping tunes, photos, files and gossip at your Seattle Coffee House very soon.

Gizmodo:
Faux File-Sharing
“What consumers want—an out-of-box way to share and transmit files between different storage media and computers (and users)—is exactly what manufacturers don’t want to give them, but they’ll tease us a little. So, if you’re really rich, DigitalDeck Entertainment Network is busting out an in-home network PC to gear to DVD sharing system that costs $4000 – $5000. It probably consists of a bunch of cables and a universal remote that your geeked-out younger brother could hack together himself.”
